Ah, then I understand what you mean. The tool `grep` print lines matching a pattern. It's entirely expected that `git grep` also print lines matching a pattern (otherwise it would be badly named). There are tools that can handle patterns that span line, but `grep` can't[1]. That's not exactly what you want though, you want a `grep` that considers the pattern across the whole file. There are tricks to do that[2]. /M [1]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2686147/how-to-find-patterns-across-multiple-lines-using-grep#2686705 [2]: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4795323/grep-for-multiple-strings-in-file-on-different-lines-ie-whole-file-not-line-b#4795521 -- Magnus Therning OpenPGP: 0xAB4DFBA4 email: mag...@therning.org jabber: mag...@therning.org twitter: magthe http://therning.org/magnus I invented the term Object-Oriented, and I can tell you I did not have C++ in mind. -- Alan Kay
